Opened a separate window for FriendFeed. Did not see it on building43 either. - Alex de Soto

Friendfeed may be all we have today: pathos - Francine Hardaway

Francine, I was just typing that! They work pretty good. - Laura Norvig
I was thinking about a Hangout on Air too. - Robert Scoble

He has been talking about nothing but Google glasses and addiction lately - Francine Hardaway
Robert's due in XKCD - clive boulton
ok Im finally in here. Geez - Tina Chase Gillmor
A British Company called Binz Intelligent Eyeware, is also developing a type of Google Glass - Moe Glitz
Hey Tina. I am still in London - Francine Hardaway
Love London. have a blast Francine. How's the baby? - Tina Chase Gillmor
metro only - Jerome Hughes
We need to see it in action, plus what's the battery like? - Moe Glitz
Re: spotify/pandora/entitlement to free music ... http://thetrichordist.wordpress.com/2012... - Laura Norvig
a buddy has a playbook - Jerome Hughes
I thought that MS was releasing two products?? Microsoft Surface = ARM + Metro only // Microsoft Surface Pro = Intel + Metro + Legacy apps - Ankush Narula
Microsoft should build magnetic keyboard covers for the iPad. ;) - Alex de Soto
I also heard the price was set at $599 and it was wifi only - Francine Hardaway
The Shared Core sounds interesting - Moe Glitz
see Danny's posts on Metro etc. - Jerome Hughes
dont think that's a fact yet Francine - Tina Chase Gillmor
Baby is 3 1/2 Tina and flys kites in the park. He's a British kid who also speaks French. He must think I am odd - Francine Hardaway
how fabulous Francine. Can't believe he's 3.5. - Tina Chase Gillmor
Microsoft appears to be subsidizing everything they're releasing - Francine Hardaway
Msft folks feel Xbox360 was first successful end-to-end hardware - clive boulton
seems credible? - Jerome Hughes
cliveb: and Xbox cost Microsoft many billions before it started working as a business. How serious is Steve Ballmer about this? The price will tell us all. - Robert Scoble
The problem is that Microsoft lacks the courage and conviction to abandon Windows altogether - Metro should have been a completely separate platform from Windows. Windows should have become relegated to it's own legacy path. Hence, instead of releasing a single device "Microsoft Surface for Windows RT" ($599), we also get "Microsoft Surface for Windows 8 Pro" ($999). - Ankush Narula
I thought Tablets were Post PC. But not in the eyes of Microsoft - Moe Glitz
How are consumers going to understand this? - Ankush Narula
Windows 8, Windows 8 Pro, Windows RT, Windows Phone 8 - talk about beating a brand to death - Ankush Narula
quietly Microsoft appears to be retooling around open source interop - clive boulton
have talked with old IT guys (read checkwriters) who find it inspired and compelling, though they're really only looking at concept, not execution - Jerome Hughes
Isn't it too late? Even folks who use Windows for desktop and laptop have already bought an iPad if they wanted a cool tablet. - Laura Norvig
Windows RT compatability - http://www.theinquirer.net/inquire... - Keith Teare
I think it may be the last chance Office has! - Alex de Soto
Redmond product teams have gained program managers tasked with open source interop - clive boulton
What's a "disc"? - Ankush Narula
plenty of those same old IT guys have been flipping to iPad - Jerome Hughes
and that's what keeps many from moving to Mac, they feel tied to their software investments on Windows - Jerome Hughes
is Office actually actively dyeing? - Tina Chase Gillmor
that's why it's gutsy, though it's an announce that didn't deliver enough of the story - Jerome Hughes
Windows Metro 8 RT - Ankush Narula
or is it Windows 8 RT Metro - Ankush Narula
the laptop you can't use on your lap - Jerome Hughes
MSFT is all in on the new canonical client / server: JavaScript / Nodejs - App / Internet - clive boulton
the accumulated insight on this show always amazes me. - Tina Chase Gillmor
clive - msft embracing node.js = cautious skepticism - Ankush Narula
They just brought Yammer - Moe Glitz
If MSFT had included some Kinect-like input magic with Surface, that would have been something! - Alex de Soto
it's a big boat to turn - Jerome Hughes
I think Microsoft's core DNA mutated from engineering/people to up-selling and licensing long ago - Ankush Narula
M$ gets their groove on? - Jerome Hughes
By displaying the Surface as a smart mobile book, they seem to be aiming towards the business crowd - Moe Glitz
clive - that's very cool - but having been burned by the embrace and extend and lock-in of MSFT past - they have much trust to earn back - Ankush Narula
@verge: Google rumored to be launching business-focused cloud computing service at I / O http://t.co/SHavwQME - Moe Glitz
and how can they squeal about being copied? - Jerome Hughes
sorry Robert. missed that - Tina Chase Gillmor
Keith: App Store approval process will quickly dampen that notion - Ankush Narula
Pottermore (uses Nodejs on Azure) Harry Potter site built on Windows Azure platform http://www.ditii.com/2012... - clive boulton
wondered when buddy would come up (and wasn't thinking about it when posted about my friend's playbook) - Jerome Hughes
losing sooner better? disrupting yourselves now so others can't later? - Jerome Hughes
Windows = Microsoft Office - Laura Norvig
For most young people, Microsoft means Xbox and Kinnect - Moe Glitz
Steve agreeing with Scoble wholeheartedly. hmm - Tina Chase Gillmor
list over tiles - Jerome Hughes
Metro *IS* stateful push notification (watch the Windows Phone 8 presentation) - Ankush Narula
how well have colored folders supplanted manila? - Jerome Hughes
I find I dont want to be AT my desktop - Tina Chase Gillmor
Im getting increasingly frustrated with non-full ipad apps that dont do everything - Tina Chase Gillmor
butter smooth scrolling vs flipping… reminds of iTunes album cover screen saver… look over here, now, and now over here - Jerome Hughes
i want my ipad to be my everything - Tina Chase Gillmor
Jerome... did you get the button finally? - Tina Chase Gillmor
yes, thanks! & believe that's what MS was after with the IT types, making them believe their whole world could be this Intel Surface - Jerome Hughes
Metro lets you pin Person tiles to the start screen - then you can see notifications for people you care about. In theory, you could pin an @mention filter on the Metro start screen. And you could probably pin all kinds of custom tiles (think notification filters). - Ankush Narula
Moe - yes, microsoft is meaningless to young people as far as the computer world - Tina Chase Gillmor
Tina - the holy grail is App collections (Cloud glues together - Client does not) - clive boulton
as Steve strokes his beard - Tina Chase Gillmor
reality is for people who can't handle drugs - Laura Norvig
oops, did I say that out loud? - Laura Norvig
robert, have you ever considered a rearview mirror? - Jerome Hughes
Xbox is pretty popular with the young set - Da
Laura lol - Tina Chase Gillmor
I'd prefer the Push Notifications list in iOS to be subject/object-centric rather than app-centric - Ankush Narula
filter, filter and customize - Tina Chase Gillmor
I guess the new version of that is, "reality is for people who can't handle the virtual world." - Laura Norvig
Tie that frick up Windows - Da
fine-tune push - Tina Chase Gillmor
lo tech predecessor to gGlasses… http://ow.ly/bLQ1M - Jerome Hughes
A whole lot of young folks do their facebooking on a Windows machine - Da
hangout may not have handled that very well… bless you - Jerome Hughes
didn't mean to catch Steve's sneeze... sorry about that folks - Tina Chase Gillmor
Ankush Narula - subject/object-centric push, exactly how to combine streams on the client side (independent of apps) - clive boulton
a new world where my photos belong to Facebook? No thanks. - Laura Norvig
Laura: absolutely. My photos are better on Facebook because of the social connections and sharing features. All other systems suck in comparison. - Robert Scoble
and real capabilities vs. hand waving - Jerome Hughes
my daughter loves instagram - Tina Chase Gillmor
compared to what will happen otherwise - Jerome Hughes
But just for fun Google+ has my photos too. - Robert Scoble
So does TUmblr. - Robert Scoble
I never an built an app for Windows Phone, because M$ never gave me a Phone. - clive boulton
So does Apple. - Robert Scoble
So does Yahoo. - Robert Scoble
@cliveb: if Microsoft Surface was $100 it would be nearly free. - Robert Scoble
I can do $100 - clive boulton
but it's rumored at $599, which is more like MS (plus free stickers and bloatware) - Jerome Hughes
much stuff can be done on mobile web these days. Apps got gunk that goes with them that slows down the phone - Da
or hecka drains battery - Da
when it crashed - Jerome Hughes
Google gave me a phone, chromebook, tablet. M$ gave me Windows (bootcamp installed. I never use nowadays) - clive boulton
